Hot pot celebration 火锅之夜

My friend has 3 cats. You heard me right, not 1, not 2, but 3. You might have an image of an old crazy cat lady in your head, or not, but she's none of that (okay, maybe she IS crazy in a way lol). I don't exactly remember how she got 3 cats, but basically there was something crazy going on and she can't just let them go to shelters. My friend ended up adopting all 3. The story should have ended like " the crazy lady since living happily ever after with her 3 cats". Well, lets just say life is never this easy.

One of the cats, named Fatty, got sick last week. He was named Catty at first, but he got so fat, that my friend changed his name to Fatty. After the diagnoses, SPCA decided to operate on him. The story then should have ended here, something like "the crazy lady brings Fatty home, and they live happily ever after". No, it got me involved. My friend has a job that puts her out of town constantly, and on the day SPCA planned to discharge Fatty, she happened to be out of town. She rang me up. 

It was raining cats and cats when I was on my way to pick up Fatty. I was a little nervous, since I have never own a pet before. I even ask my friend if there's a cage to carry him, i mean, what kinda question is that? (oh and it's not called a cage, it's a carrier! lol) Turned out Fatty had a fat liver, and it prevents him from digesting fat. They put in a feeding tube inside his stomach, and it took almost an hour for the technician to explain everything to me from how to do tube feeding to all the details about applying the medicine. They prescribed 6 different medicine for Fatty, and the details was 2 pages long. 

Fatty's fine now. He still has the feeding tube, but he's been able to move a little, and I believe he will recover fully soon. And to celebrate good life, we decide to do hot pot, yeh XD. I haven't seen my friend in quite a while, and it was some good times catching up. I do take this as a sign that I need to keep up with my healthy eating plan and exercises, or one day I might end up like Fatty. It's already 11:30pm and I'd better get my beauty sleep now lol

我的朋友有三只猫，三只大肥猫，嘻嘻。千万不要以为我朋友是个孤独的疯婆子，人家的生活不知道多么的精彩。我忘记了为什么她要收养三只了，大概是收拾别人的烂摊子一类的说，我朋友心肠太好不忍心送猫猫们去宠物庇护所，所以就把他们都留下来了。大家可能觉得“这有什么好讲的“，故事还未开始呢。

其中一只猫猫，名字叫“肥佬”，上星期病倒了。猫猫本来是叫“猫仔”的，后来发福得太厉害了，朋友就把他改成现在的名字，太没人性了哈哈。经过诊断，动物医院决定要帮猫猫做手术。大家可能又要说“那做完就好了嘛“。好啦好啦，本来呢，事情并没有那么难，但是我朋友因为工作需要，很多时候都不在三藩市，而猫猫出院那天我朋友刚好不在。所以就出动到我了。

我去接猫猫的时候，雨下得可以用粤语”落狗屎“来形容。其实我蛮担心的，因为我从来没有养宠物的经验，我还问朋友到时候有没有一个笼子来放猫猫进去。（好吧，我确实是胆小了点，但作为一个控制狂，我真的想把事情详悉了解所以才能不辜负朋友的托付阿好吧，好回到主题）原来猫猫患了俗称的脂肪肝，不能吸收食物，所以他们放了一条喂食管通到猫猫的胃了。技师整整和我解释了将近一个小时，才把所有药物的用法阿（6种好吧），怎样照顾猫猫阿，各种详细情况跟我说清楚。觉得”肥佬“好可怜，好吧，因为他几天没进食，瘦了一圈，还是把”猫仔“的名字还给他吧。

猫仔现在状态不错呢。虽然身上还是插着喂食管，他已经可以周围走动一点点了，相信很快就可以完全康复了吧。而为了庆祝猫仔手术成功，救回9条猫命，我们决定用吃火锅来庆祝。 其实我跟朋友已经好久没有见面了，虽然猫猫遇上不幸中的大幸，其实也算是聚一下聊聊近况，我好久没有吃晚饭吃得那么开心了呢。再回头想想，我自己也应该继续坚持锻炼身体以及健康饮食计划了，如果变成猫仔一样的经历，那就惨了。大吉利是，努力加油阿！
